Arena core idea

Right now my core is composed of Nowi Raven Eirika and I'm in t20.5, since I have 550k feathers I'm thinking to change my core to a team that suits better the current arena system and this is my idea

Titania (+def - hp)
Dragonic Poleaxe (+eff)
Double rally
Aether
Distant counter
Chill atk
Atk tactic
Def tactic

M!Corrin (+spd - hp)
Yato (+eff)
Double rally
Aether
Distant Counter
Chill def
Spur def/res
Drive def

Caeda (+spd -hp)
Wing sword (+eff)
Double rally
Galeforce
R duel flier
???
Spd tactic
Guidance

I have the fodder and almost enougth feathers to +10 all of them, but musing the copies, also I'll give Corrin R duel infantry whenever it will get released, basically this team would be able to give +12atk +12spd +18def +15res while having chills to debuff the enemies, but I'm unsure about Caeda's B slot as I don't have other Chills available, should I go with Renewal for now?
Is there somewhere I can change to make it better?

They're all pretty good options.

M! Corrin will probably be the best baby sitter once R Duel is out. I also plan to +10 him soon.

if you can get the rally+ stuff, I don't really suggest titania.
you can use unit like soren for his chill atk tome, and helbindi is on the 2man banner right now.
also, you can use link skill on your Mcorrin, unless you want to fodder rally+/double rally every 2 weeks for the bonus unit.
with link skill, you can pretty much use stuff like swap or shove on your bonus unit.
that way, your caeda can use drive and chill def from walhart, instead of your Mcorrin.

Swap scores less than a double rally, I don't have a double rally+ or a link skill and I don't have orbs to spend at the moment.
Titania scores pretty well, she has a superboon on def which brings her BST to 155 scoring the same as Gen1 Axe infantry.
Also I don't know how a drive for Caeda would be more usefull than Guidance as spd is the least usefull stat in arena and that team already gives so much atk that I gain more utility from guidance

well, you only use swap on your bonus unit, unless you have infinite amount of double rally from oscar/roder/tailtiu, then I guess you can go with double rally for your bonus unit every 2 weeks.

even with normal dual rally, I dont really suggest titania though.
you're wasting 2 C skill and seal slot for tactics, when you can just use 2 rally, for all stats increase, then put +3 3 times with drives.
anyway if you dont have link skill, then you can put stuff like windsweep on your caeda to chip armor, while your corrin can keep his chill def.

EDIT : caeda does not use drive spd. you can use guidance on her seal, then pick whatever drive you like for her C skill.

I don't think having Titania with triple tactics is a waste as I can't have all the character use rallies all the time, there are many times where I need my character to be 2 spaces away, that's where tactics come in handy, still drive+rally would give +6, the same as tactics with the difference that if I can't use rallie the character will end up having only a +3

yeah she is good buff bot for other mix team content, but for arena, I dont think she's that useful, because everyone is forced to use rally for points.
if you use tactics, your support skill pretty much wasted.
it's different from normal Pve map, where you can use useful stuff like reposition,draw back, etc.

now even if you have titania with spectrum, you only free up caeda C slot, while keeping titania C and S slot busy with tactics, where if you use something like marth or soren, you get drive spectrum 1, and 2 free drive, or a free chil atk, and 2 free drives.
the status you get is not that much different, in fact, is you change titania to marth, you get much higher stats because of drives and unwasted dual rallies.

Report

Having Titania spectrum buff frees up the other babysitters to do something other than rally/ stay in close proximity to the bonus unit. They can run around baiting or doing chip damage with Wind/Watersweep. Besides, you can still run Marth, Corrin(M) and/or Soren with Drive skills to stack on the tactics buff.

I'm not that big a fan of using field (visual) buffs in arena but I wanted to demonstrate Titania's viability. Ultimately, future R Duel Corrin M will arguably be the best Arena Support unit imo.

unless you use dagger unit, I dont think you can do chip damage when it's still at 4v4 situation, expecially without movement support or dance, and when it's already 1v4 situation, I dont think it's hard to kill a single unit with 4 unit on your side.
so at the start of the turn until you remove 1 or 2 unit, most of your unit pretty much do nothing if you use titania. while if you don't they can rally, and free their skill slot for more drives/spurs, which means you most likely struggle less even against WTD.
titania is great buffer, I do use her on TT, AR, etc, but for arena, she's kinda useless, due to rally.

and also, as you said, field buff is not always that good, if your opponent have panic ploy, you have the control to use rally or not, whereas if you use titania, you're pretty much need to let her run far away from your bonus unit, making her even more useless.
and of course corrn and marth are the best baby sitter. they only wait for the R duel infantry to be a thing now.

Report

This isn't what you were asking, but how well do you like aether raids? Something like smoke dagger Legault can potentially be quite good in AR def and also pretty reasonable in arena

If you like arena I think you should also consider merging Surtr. The chip damage + debuff is so powerful; he's nearly indestructible; he scores really well; the current banner offers +10 for an average of something like 650 orbs?
